of Reeds celebrated ladies shoes. They
are the best and most stylish on the
market.
The Somerset reporter., 1887-05-11


1t is n singular fact that nine out of ten
of the buns and tramps brought into the
station house have on their person shoe
buttoner. No matter what kind of shoes
they wear, still they have one Of these
simple instruments. Lieut.. Hanback,
decided week ago to make II collection
of the shoe buttoners taken from the
prisoners brought into Bremen street
station. In the seven days they numbered
eighteen, and like young ladies do with
their strings of buttons, he attached them
together. He has now II chain some
three feet in length A peculiar thing is
That the hook end is bent into n variety of
shapes. The penchant for having button
ers attracted the attention of the detect
ives long ago, and it happened to strike
some bright minded policeman that
the little instrument could be made
to do the work of skeleton key, as
far as the locks in common use were CON
cerned. In reality, the shoe buttoner, to
all intents and purposes was converted
into q burglars tool, and still could be
readily passed Off as necessary i1nple
ment in arranging ones toilet. The pos
session of skeleton key is serious
offense and carries with it conviction of u
penal term. The law, however, cannot re-
gard the shoe buttoner as contraband
article, and still the evil intending are as
well fortified with it rs with the BURGLARS
favorite tool, since, when properly shaped,
it does the work equally as we'll The cx-
pert can pick a lock with one of these
little iron hooks with as much facility as
if he had n skeleton key, and yet if caught
with it in his possession enjoys immunity
from the statute covering the ofTense.
Usually, when one of these instruments is
found on n prisoners person it is thrown
away, or perhaps given back if the owner
is released No doubt in the course of n
year several hundred are taken up by the
police. The amount of theft that could
be traced to them would very probably
prove startling. Enquirer.

CHANGE OF FRONT.

Sometime ago Mr.. Henry Watterson, a
gentleman not altogether unknown in the
newspaper world, directed more or less at
tention to himself and to his journal and
provoked considerable adverse criticism
from his Democratic brethren by his semi
opposition to President Cleveland and his
administration. But it appears from the
following, found in the Pittsburg Post, a
radical change has come over Mr.. Waiter
son. I'm an interview with a prominent
Republican journal, the formerly bellicose
Colonel makes no bones of asserting that
Cleveland is the only man with whom the
Democracy can make a fight with any
show OF success He says: I do not BE-
lieve there is the slightest chance OF the
Democratic party winning next year unless
it does nominate Cleveland. He is the only
man that can, under present conditions
carry the party to victory. I don't see
how they are going to get around it. They
must take him. He adds: There is no
Hill boom anywhere, nor does the Cover
nor mean to permit one. The only one
that does exist was started by Dana's Of
flee cat Mr.. Watterson's only gratifica-
tion is that it is a little rough to have to
60 to the Republican party for help to elect
a Democratic President
We can see no objections in converts.
There is scriptual authority for utilizing
them. But for converts the Republicans
would still have two-thirds of the States
and both branches of Congress-. When
Allen G. Thurman took his seat in the Sen
ate in 1858, he had but ten Democratic col
leagues to ffty-nine Republican Senators.

cordial welcome. It makes the old guard

A NEW SCHEME.

A great many schemes have been ad.

Treasury, but that of the Hon. j. j. Knox,
ex-Controller OF the currency. is spoken OF
as eminently sensible and feasible, and
could easily be put into execution if Con-
gress would pass statute to organize it.
Mr.. Knox proceeds upon the assumption
that what the country needs is something
to reduce the surplus temporarily, say for
about three years, while Congress is delib-
Grating upon and perfecting the details of q
plan for permanent reduction.
This proposition is elaborated in q re-
cent number of an Eastern journal. It 10

THE VICTORIOUS YACHT.

The simple announcement that the Coro-
net beat the Darntlese in their great race
across the Atlantic will be received by the
mass OF readers as bit OF news which
settles the relative speed OF the two yachts
and with them all thought OF the matter
will end. 1t will not SO end, however, with
the great commercial world that looks
across the waters for its trade. Speed and
safety in sailing vessels are considerations
OF prime Importance with water course
shippers and to them the issue OF that race
has greater meaning. The models OF the
two boats will he inquired into and studied.
Those qualities in the one which gives it
superiority over the other will be noted
and carried into the building OF vessels of
larger tonnage thus insuring speedier voy-
ages with greater safety. 1t is the only
way by which perfection in shipbuilding
will be reached.
Like the intelligent herse raiser who
breeds his stock to secure full development
in his animals and perfect harmony in their
proportions, the shipbuilder aims to SO
model his vessel that every part will con-
form to certain fixed laws-not yet fully
understood the observance of which
maximum spsed, safety and durab bility are
attained. The Coronet will afford a study
for the shipwright. The Dauntless is an
old vessel, the best OF the class in it's day,
the Coronet is q comparatively new one
and represents the latest improvements in
water craft construction. Their respective
merits a. sailing vessels have been tested. |
and the wide awake shipbuilders will profit |
By the test. It il valuable lesson the |
rest rass gave.

JUSTIFIED.

In answer to the Inter Mountains growl
about the appointment OF Mr.. Morrison as
one of the Interstate Commissioners, we
would say the President has justified pub
lie confidence and confirmed public senti-
ment in naming Mr.. Morrison for the posi-
tion. The admirers of Mr.. Morrison-and
there is no Democrat who is not an ad-
mirer of that pure-minded, spotless citizen
would have preferred to see him in the
place he has illustrated for twenty years
Congress; but since he has determined to
carry his admirable powers and trained
business skill into an executive place, there
is but one sentiment among those who de-
sire to see the problematlc law fairly tested.
Mr.. Morrison is Democrat to the mar
row; that means that he will ipdoctrinate
his associates with primal truths of the
party that constitutes three.fourths of the
thinking men of this country. And as the
leading member of the commission he will
be at once q pledge Of it's bipartisan
methods and it's fidelity to the spirit of the
law.

A BAD OMEN.

That there 10 . oonspiracyto assassinate
the Car Of Russia cannot, in view Of recent
discoveries Of bombs and dynamite in tie
vicinity Of the Russian capital, be denied.
And that the knowledge OF the existence Of
such conspiracy will be accepted BY the
Gar as sign Of social unrest and political
agitation in that Empire 10 q logical con-
clusion, and that such sign will have q
great influence upon the rulers in deciding
them in favor OF war is reasonable to sup
pose. With war in progress to occupy
the attention Of the people the Russian
autocrat is at least free from the apprehen-
sion of the assassin, and without it he may
look for the avenger at any time. Henceit
may be said that these discoveries referred
to do not give an assurance of long con-
tinued peace in Russia.
An exchange we'll says that peace is fatal
to the assumptions of q barbarous chief
like the Car of Russia, who rules his peo-
pie with an absolutism tempered by
nothing, a. has been truly said, except as
sassination. The country is hopeleesly in
debt. The petty tyrants who are in favor
at court make life almost unbearable to
vast sections of the population. The
growth of intelligence and the introduction
OF political ideas from other countries
have made the most active minds
antagonistic to the prevailing order. The
exercise of e6e oppression necessary to dis
courage these manifestations Of develop
ing nationalistic spirit is never as easy or
as eficacious in time of peace as it is in
time OF war. War engages the attention of
the people, fills their minds either with the
glory of success or the shame OF defeat,
and by fixing their hostility upon q for
eign foe, relieves the domestic tyranny of
the fierce hate, which develops rapidly
enough as soon as the particular struggle
then in hand is closed.
The deliverance of Russia from the bond
age in which it is now plunged will be likely |
10 take place some time when either vic
,orious or a defeated army concludes that
,he hour has arrived for change. Assas-
,ination only retards the movement

A JUST RECOGNITION.

In appointing Mr.. Oscar s. Strauss, a
Hebrew merchant Of New York City, to the
Turkish Ministry, made vacant by the res
ignation of Sunset Cox, the President did q
very graceful act towards an important
element in our population, and at the same
time reflected credit upon his administra-
ton. In noticing the appointment the San
Francisco Chronicle says: "Mr. Strauss is
of German birth and is SO years OF age.
He has lived, however, in the United States
from early childhood and has been q resi-
dent of New York for a number of years.
He was on terms of friendship with Horace
Greeley and was recommended to President
Cleveland for his present position by Henry
Ward Beecher, Oswald Ottendorfer and
others. He is graduate both of Columbia
College and the Columbia Law School, and
is the author of q well-known book, 1.-THE
Origin of Republican Government in the
United States," and has been a contribu-
tor to various publications and q lecturer
on historical topics"

The St.lPaul Pioneer Press in noticing
the Manitoba, or what is known in this
Territory as the Montana Central, says
1.-THE Manitoba has heretofore been ship
ping all it's material for the extension west
from Minot to Minot with the intention OF
doing the building from this end, as no
agreement could be made with the North
srn Pacific to carry the freight through to
the west end OF the proposed line. An ar
rangement has now been made with the
Northern Pacific whereby material will be
landed at Carrelton, 60 thence by the
Northern Pacific to the Missouri and be
taken in boats to Fort Buford. This will
make it possible for building both ways
from Fort Buford. Shepard, Winston &
Co. have the contract for the whole exten-
sion." The road will be pushed during the
present season with all possible dispatch,
it being stated that work will be carried on
night and day until snow flies.
